THE democratic state ticket to-
gether with the platform enunciated
by the party in convention at Des
Moines last week give renewed evil
dence that the party is incapable of
progress and that the people have
nothing to hope for in the way of
relief from the extortion of monop-
oily, if it must be had through the
fundamentally OF the mossbacks.
First of all the party conclave was
dominated by attorneys, Mr.. Fred
Lehman, the bright, vivacious and
tricky representative o. the profess
sion, welding the magic wand over
all. Nine OF the eleven members
of committees are or have recently
been corporation attorneys and their
legerdemain crops out conspicuously
in the flimsy platform in the plank
regarding railroad control, where il
is proposed to reduce passenge,
rates to two cents per mile, with ar
all pervading silence on the much
more important matter of freigh
tariff. The commercial traveller, tn.
theater companies, street fakirs, ane
people with slight cases of hay feveI

Virtue Dethroned.

o. p. Waitman, late Of the Gray
Blizzard, who has been talking up
the project of Union Labor paper
in this place was in town Saturday.
We learn that Dave Davis and
Banker Lewis are quite prominent
in working up the scheme. The
boys have doubtless suffered terribly
from the expressions Of monopolies
and bloated capitalists and will in
vest literally in the new concern.-
Guthrian.
AS the mouthpiece and general
manager OF the knights of labor
in this county, Mr.. Waitman
denounced in scathing terms, all
bankers. In fact the organization
in whose name he spoke excluded
from its membership, lawyers,
drunkards and bankers. The gen
tleman called the people into the
school houses, ranted about the plat
form, mopped the unctuous perspira-
ton from his brazen brow and
cheek, and called all bankers thieves,
leeches who sapped the very life
blood from legitimate enterprise and
industry. But what spectacle is
this my countrymcn: This self al
legged embodiment of political purity
in coheots with banker in the pub
LEGATION of labor paper. 1t is in
deed, pretty picture, the banker,
with his right hand counting his
gold, with his left convulsively
clasping the velvet palm of the gay
old boodler, Waitman. 1t IS a pitt
full example of the corrupting influ-
ence of gold, when an undefiled and
unstained advocate of reform be-
comes a victim OF the wiley banker,
How fleeing and how weak is sell
alleged purity, how unstable the vir-
tue of retormers.
With the downfall of the wholly
pure and unsullied gentle man, the
hopes of faction that had pro.
nouuced all others false, are blasted.
They may well be ready to excalaim
all men are boodlers," when the
chief object Of their confidence goes
down in the swim Of corruption
Who shall stand when Waitmar
falls and where shall we find man
OF whom we can say che is the la
borer's frIend:o
The gay old boodier Waitman
and Banker Lewis will form 4 COM
bination with unsurpassed facilities
for relieving tine masses-ot their
cash.

settled in his new store room, the
old rink building, is daily receiving
large invoices of goods. His general
stock is being replenished, so that
the stock is nearly all new and fresh.
In queensware he has invested heav-
lily and has on hand all the newest
and latest designs. Such art has
been lavishcd upon this class Of goods,
of late years, as makes each piece q
beauty in itself. Mr.. Conslgny has
considered none of these too good
for the Audubon market and now
has one of the finest stocks to be
found IN the west. He also has a
complete stock of fresh fruits, such as
peaches, plums, grapes, apples, ETC.,
which will be furnished in quantities
that makes canning profitable. Call
at his store and examine stock.

The union labor party is in con-
vention at the court house hall to-
day, but we go to press too early to
give results. 1t has been given out
by the manager-in-chief that they
will endorse the democratic nominee
for representative, the gilt-edged
and white winged gentleman from
Melville, reducing him to the mire
of humiliation. 1t seems that he
might have been spared this sacrifice
Of self-respect after having so clear
ly expressed his desires in letter in
fine diction to the press only few
weeks ago, an extract from which
may be found in another column. 1t
is also III the program, as we are in
formed by member of the ring, to
give a unanimous nomination for
superintendent of schools to Octavius
Phineas Waitman, he of the velvet
palm. In the wholly improbable
event of his election, certificates ad
dressed to teachers would have tc
be sent to the Chinese minister fol
Interpretation. For the other office.
there are no names mentioned, and
the problem may battle the ingenuit,
Of the convention and force it to tn,
alternative of fusion. However it il
whispered that our friend, Mr.
Wicker, has a gem of oratory in thu
form of an acceptance well com
mitted.
